jay carney earlier today saying this president involved himself in saving the auto industry not because the people who had jobs were going to vote for him but because he serves all americans. >> that's right. hopefully it does that. remember, mitt romney represents the way that some people actually feel, the one percenters feel this way, people in the republican party feel this way sometimes, and what this proves to us and it's a sad day in american politics if this is the case, it proves to us in some ways that it's easier for people to vote against something than it is for them to vote for something. so it's easier for folks to vote against entitlements or folks they think are lazy. they have got to think about political discourse, policy in a way that galvanizes us around issues to be much more positive in the political process. this is bad for american politics. >> james peterson, john alter, and karen finney, thank you all. as we go to break a note on one of our favorite romney sound bites, mitt romney made this one on may the 17th, hours before his appear raps at a now infamous fl
